ChatGPT is a chatbot which has gained a lot of popularity since its publication last November. It was developed by the artificial intelligence research company OpenAI based on its Gpt-3.5 technology, the largest neural network known to date with 175 billion parameters.

AI-based chatbots are nothing new, as their origins date back to the 1960s. Their operation is the same today as it was back then, basically “conversation-dialogue” between man and machine. The improvement in its capabilities since then has been impressive, as have its areas of use in many contexts and the way it is presented to users, whether through written text or through a multimedia interface (or text-to-sound programs). ), which allows you to “speak” through a more natural conversation with the AI. Examples that we use every day are virtual assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri or Google’s Assistant.

ChatGPT has gone viral in recent weeks. Within just three days of its public launch, it already had a million users and today you can find it all over the internet. Although it is similar to ELIZA created at MIT in 1966 and considered to be the first AI-based chatbot in history, its ability is unmatched in using the latest technologies in supervised learning and reinforcement, using human trainers to improve performance. .

The goal remains the same as in its beginnings, to obtain the machine is maximally intelligent and be able to respond to a person’s questions or requests in the most accurate and natural way. The technological field of artificial intelligence is, as you know, exciting… and on the other hand, disturbing if it is not used correctly and with rules that should be fully defined, so that one day, as some critics fear, they will not find such an artificial intelligence as a single movie skynet Terminator, which ends with it having a “conscience”, outwitting its creators and exterminating humans. Beyond science fiction, the dictators of the planet sigh with automatic weapons (and soldiers) that can lead us to our doom.

How to use ChatGPT

Start of lesson. ChatGPT is currently available for free. And that’s because the natural language processing model is still in the “learning” phase. We don’t know if it will be for long. Although OpenAI was originally founded as a non-profit organization, a paid “PRO” version has already been announced. Considering the executives behind it, with Elon Musk at the helm, it’s clear that the goal will be to monetize these services. Microsoft has already announced that it is going to implement ChatGPT as an API to its Azure services and is investing a whopping $10 billion in OpenAI.

In case the tip ends, you can access it like this:

• Go to the following OpenAI link.
• Create an account via email or with a Google or Microsoft ID.

• Verify your email.

• Enter name and phone number.
• Accept the terms of use.

• Start writing.

From there, what you want. In a simple interface with a single dark mode option, you can use it to create content; fix bugs in your code if you are a developer; calculate; translate information; summarize the book; writing a song and very long etc. including just having fun for a while. It should be said that unlike other chatbots, ChatGPT has status or what is the same is capable of recalling previous directions which he provided to the person in the same interview.

Of course it’s not perfect and links detailed answers with gross errors. In each answer you can report its usefulness or found errors. Other times it provides outright false information (meaningless) and is (thankfully) unable to replace human interaction and verified sources of information. ChatGPT continues and will continue to get smarter with its use because it uses Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF). We’ll see where it goes.
